I’ve got an after\_deploy task in my cap script. If I cap deploy, the  
task executes. If I do cap deploy\_with\_migrations, it doesn’t. Do I  
have to define the deploy\_with\_migrations task to include this  
after\_deploy task?

You might try the capistrano mailing list. Due to the heavy traffic

Does the task you have really need to run after deploy? You could  
use after\_restart and it will work in basically the exact same way  
but it will apply to either deploy or deploy\_with\_migrations

Yeah that’s what I decided to do. Partly I was just curious why it  
acted differently with deploy\_with\_migrations.
